A Startling Prediction.

Two hundred years ago in China
there was just such a craze about
natural gas as we have in this
country to-day. Gas wells were
sunk with as mnch vim and vigor
as the Celestials were capable of,
but owing to a gas explosion that
killed several millions of people
and tore up and destroyed a large
district of country, leavinga large
inland sea, known on the maps as
Lake Foo Chang, the BORING of
any more gas wells was then and
there prohibited by law. 1t seems
according to the Chinese history,
that many large and heavy pres
sure gas wells were struck, and in
some districts wells we're sunk
quite near to each other. Gas
was lighted as soon as struck, as
is done in this country. 1t is
stated that one well with its unus-
ual pressure, by induction or back
draught pulled down into the
earth the burning gas of smaller
we'll, resulting in a dreadful ex-
plosion of large district, destroy
ing the inhabitants thereof. Lake
Foo Chang rests on this district.
The same catastrophe is imminent
in this country unless the laws
restrict further developments In
boring SO many wells. Should a
simiular explosion occur there
will be such an upheaval as will
dwarf the most terrible earthquake
ever known. The country along
the gas belt from Toledo through
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will
be ripped up to the depth of
], 200 to ], 800 feet and Topped over
like pancake, leaving a chasm
through which the waters OF lake
Erie will go rushing into the
Mississippi valley blotting it out
forever..Cleveland Leader.

vanquished by the Small Boy

Last Friday morning, when the
passenger train pulled out for the
south, it had on board one of
Kirksville's fairest young ladies
accompanied by little brother.
Together they were going to visit
friends and relatives at a distant
point. On board the train was an
other individual of more than pas
sing interest, the young lady's
lover. The young man is not look
ed upon with gushing favor by tn
old folks, and, consequently does
not visit the house. But Friday
morning, being appraised of the
young lady's departure, he deter
mined to have a quiet talk with
her while the rattle of the rapidly
moving train would drown their
words to all ears save their own.
The young man boarded the train
on the side opposite from the de-
pot to escape the watchful eye of
the mother, who had accompanied
her daughter to the station. AS
the train steamed away he put his
head out of the door, to let the
mother understand, you know,
that he was safely on board and
that there WAS no help for it. But
the young man had reckoned
without his host. When he return
ed to the seat occupied by the
young lady, the little brother
arose from seat across the aisle
and demanded that he vacate at
once. In low, pacific tones the
young man tried to compromise,
but the little brother feeling his
responsibility, WAS obdurate. The
young man began 70 grow red and
moist and the demonstrations OF
the small boy became more fran
tic. A drummer, in the seat just
back of the couple, doubled him.
self up and his violent contortions
in an effort to keep from yelling
with laughter, attracted the atten-
ton of all in the car to that imme-
diate neighborhood. Just at this
moment the train came to stop
at Willard, when the small boy
was heard crying at the top of his
voice, "I'll tell pa on you!" "You
know he don't allow you to talk tc
her!" Great beads of perspiratior
stood on the young mans fore
: head, but for a time he bravel,
held down the seat. But just be
fore the train pulled into the mex
, station the pressure became to-
great, and rising he shot out O
!, the coach as if fred from q cata
pult. He returned home by tn,
first train and the next time h,
starts on similar GRAND, he vii
, first make sure that, not only tn
: old folks, but the small boy also
l has been left safely at home.
